2007 a Special Year For Boston Sports

at least they waited until they won ONE playoff game first... Boston fans are getting more patient!

Please don't lump me and other Boston fans in with this retard.

Well, he's new. He probably would've posted this article when the Pats acquired Moss if he wasn't new.

I won't lump you in (because you think these people aren't the majority), but where there's the smoke from one retard, there's usually a blaze of retards.

I don't care if they're the majority or the minority. All I know is I'm a Boston sports fan and I don't like being classified with the worst fans from Boston just because they're the most vocal/memorable.

If I said any generalization "People are _________" to 10 average people.

3 would say "Yeah we are"

3 would say "Yeah they are"

3 would take it personal and get offended

1 would tell me how great the Red Sox are

If you get offended by something, it might be because you think it's true. Otherwise, WHY would you get offended?

If there are that many Red Sox fans, I wonder how many Pats fans would say the same thing.

Ok Manny, by that logic that people get offended by generalizations because they're true, if I went up to a black guy and said "All black people are stupid" and he got offended, you think that would mean he thought it was true?

If you want to say "most Red Sox fans are stupid" that's fine, I might even agree with you there because Sox fans are people and most people are stupid. But when you make all encompassing generalizations about Red Sox fans, I'm going to get pissed off because...

1. You don't know every single Red Sox fan

2. I'm a Red Sox fan and I'm not stupid

If you keep arguing with me that there are exceptions to every generalization, I will accept it as fact that you are indeed stupid.

(OF COURSE THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS to every generalization - THAT'S what makes them generalizations; they are GENERALLY true - they aren't UNIVERSALIZATIONS - and if my generalizations aren't about you DIRECTLY then DON'T BE OFFENDED and LAUGH ALONG. And if it hurts you that there are stupid fans rooting for your team, don't ever make similar comments about anyone else's fanbase you panties-in-a-bunch-er)

Stop reading other's external projections and taking them internally personal. There's more people in the world than you and the people you know.

You should never make blanket statements. Alliance generalizations are false.

That should be "all generalizations are false." my work script was still on.

If I went up to a black person and said "all black people are stupid" and they were offended - well they obviously aren't a smart enough person to not waste any of their time on my statement. I think most smart black people would laugh at the absurdity of it. And why does it always have to be a black person that's stupid?

All generalizations are false? Really?

Try this one on - Men want sex while women want money.

Is it always true? No, some men want money and some women want sex. But GENERALLY men want sex and women want money. It's the oldest profession for a reason. It's also the reason why you can have a second nose on your head and still get laid if you have bank.

Oh come on Manny... "All generalizations are false!" It's a joke!

Manny, calling me a "panty-in-a-buncher" over the internet really demonstrates your maturity level. I'll get pissed off at what I want to get pissed off at. The thing that pisses me off the most is idiocy, which is probably why I get so pissed off at you. You're not the Lord of AGM, Manny. Get off your high horse. And stop talking shit about my team and my fellow fans. You want to pick out individual fans and give them shit, like the guy who wrote this crappy article, be my guest, I'll even join in on the fun. But you take every bit of optimism by a Boston fan and turn it into some unholy hatred for all the fans of Boston sports. You have such anti-Boston blinders on that yesterday you completely mistook a comment of mine to be serious and not a joke. I'm still waiting for an apology on that one, but I'm not holding my breath.

Dear Rawb, Good one. You showed me. Maybe I should be more mature... I think it shows my creativity more than my maturity level, or have you completely mistaken my comment? Oops! It appears your panties ARE indeed in a bunch!

Maybe you should take that high horse you're on and shove it up your high and mighty ass. It will give the panties, the knickers, the rod and whatever else that's up there already a tad bit of company.

There's a fine line about 1,000,000 light years wide between "Optimism" and "Insatiable Myopia". I'm not blaming you that it became fasionable to root for winners but you certainly seem to want to accept the responsibility for a zealous and uninformed fanbase - have at it.

If you have no problem with me picking on an "individual fan and give them shit", well then... you just nominated yourself, didn't you?

It's a personal policy of mine not to apologize for all of the mistakes I make or I'd never have the time to make more mistakes. I also don't think it's my fault your jokes aren't funny and I "mistake" them for being serious...

Maybe you should apologize to yourself.

With Love, The Lord of Armchair (Thanks for nominating me), Manny Stiles

Speaking of panties in a bunch...

Well that speaks of your maturity level, now doesn't it?

Certainly lends volumes to your "creativity"... or is another "Ode" coming my way?

(it's easier for you to just stop so I won't have to keep ramming your foot further down your throat)

Manny, calm down buddy. First you talk about ramming stuff up my ass and now you want to ram stuff down my throat. Those are pretty violent (and otherwise sketchy) images, man. It's all in good fun.

So then we agree that all Boston Fans are myopic, know very little about sports and are entirely stupid. Jeez, finally! Just remember: you're the only one with an opinion on Boston (the town that thinks it's a city), since I haven't been there yet, I have little need to "hate" Boston... although I have been to Massachusetts enough times to surmise it is a pretty sucky Commonwealth.

Sure Manny, whatever gets you to stop fantasizing about ramming.

I'm sure Tim McCarver wouldn't.

the record for "most discussions on sportscenter about breaking some record"

Nice.

Well not every account... both the Pats and Sox are better this year than they were in '04, but the former point is just incorrect.

Seriously... you love Randy now, but eventually the REAL Randy will resurface - just lose once and watch the trasformation. He will be wearing a Poutriots Uniform soon enough...

The Red Sox were better in '04... unless you FORGET THAT YOU HAD PEDRO!!! (Not Pedro Martinez, he was PEDRO then) OR, just look at the records...

The records aren't the whole story. I'll grant you Pedro, but the bullpen is much more solid this year, and I'm not scared when half the pitching staff takes the mound.

he dolphins weren't in the AFL...they were in the AFC...and they won the Super Bowl

New York did it twice. Both times the Mets won. In '86 you had both the Mets and the NY football Giants.

Remember Manny, we had a sucky bullpen. But now we have JD Drew, so it evens it out...

Why do I keep saying we? The '04 Red Sox, I mean...

My drink just came out my nose! "point #2 is just stupid. STUPID! " - Classic

Correct...the Phins player the normal 14 game schedule (17 total games including playoffs)... If you remember, there was a point where the pats had won 17 straight (19 total, i believe)...and they compared themselves to the dolphins...

lol considering the AFL was merged in with the NFL after Super Bowl IV, this guy is obviously smoking the same stuff as NFL-MLB Guru, who thinks that Clemens is still looking for his first World Series ring.

I don't think they're smoking anything - that would require the ability to create and control fire in some manner.

Tyler, I'm surprised at you. The NFL-AFL merger was in 1970. The Dolphins were 14-0 in 1972 and went on to win the Superbowl. I think it counts.

What was in italics was a quote of the actual article.

not particularly... I'm gonna go throw bricks up in the air as high as I can and catch them with my teeth instead. Screw bricks, make 'em concrete blocks.... covered in razorblades and gasoline and lit on fire.

I had the same theory, Tyler

It's because you guys are paranoid. I'm not out to get you (but the monster under your bed is...)

Okay Stiles, now I'm sure it's you.

tylersalt. I am disappointed in you. I would NEVER pull shenanigans like you are suggesting. And if I did, don't you think it would be WAY better than this?

That's fair.

Shenanigans?!

Tomfoolery.

1979 is like 100 years ago? So not only are you talking sports out of your lack of information, you can't do simple math either.

Ballyhoo

28 years! I GOT IT! I GOT IT!

buncombe, poppycock, inanity, balderdash, prattle, vacuousness, horsefeathers

"Hohsefeathas"..

Humbug!

I think this is a 13 year old kid typing in between looking at the maxim website and playing counterstrike

WHICH record? I'm gonna go pour clorox in my ear and hope it cleans this crap out of my brain. If it doesn't work, maybe I'll just drink it...

haha every time he responds it puts him in an even deeper hole; something I didn't think possible. And unless the year is now 2035 none of those examples are even close to being a hundred years old.

You forgot the part where the Sox go 165 and 0 next year (they get three extra wins because, they're like the Red Sox and all)

Where Tom Brady breaks the record for most passing yards in a season - in one game. And then doubles the record in the next game.

Where Laurence Maroney wins the Nobel Prize in Economics.

Where Manny Ramirez shaves his dreads and feeds the crowd at Fenway with them.

Where Kevin Garnett singlehandedly finishes the Big Dig in one weekend

Where Harvard gets renamed Belichick University

Where all the clam chowder in the world gets officially renamed New England Patriots Clam Chowder

Where the rest of the world realizes what Bostonians have always known. Boston is the center of the universe.

thank god none of them really care about soccer. Congrats to the Revolution for earning a title.

"none of them" Seriously, stop lumping all of Boston sports fans in with one very loud, very retarded moron.

You all look the same to me. : )

oh my lord he did it again.

Touchdowns? Don't you mean World Series Championships?

No. Gold Glove awards.

I think he was talking about hat tricks.

Rolaids Relief Man Awards?

No, I've got it! Points in the paint!

Alley oops? Or maybe free throws? No, I got it! Turkeys! (for all you bowling fans out there)

No...guys, he is totally talkign about most consecutive gold medals in the floor routine.

Most catfishes noodled...

Most losses by KO!

Don't put these nasty thoughts in my head Manny. Let me come up with them myself, when the time comes...

The Patriots have not scored 25 touchdowns this year.

Everyone's being a jerk because you're either 5 years old, or mentally impaired and don't know it. Or you're just trying to be a moron, in which case, well done.

roflmao Brady and Moss have 25 TDs this year? Are you confusing the NFL season with you fucking playing Madden?

Tom Brady 95/120 1118 yards 79.2 % comp 13 TD 2 INT

Randy Moss 31 catches 505 yards 7 TD

So they have hooked up for 7 scores, not 25 highspeed.

Silencer, thank you.

Silencer...i am goign to give you a hug

No, this is worse. MUCH WORSE. And I'm saying this...

Comment of the day...

thank god, that is the most intelligent thing you had to say in the entire article and thread.

Now I'm offended

Deffo one of the most entertaining.

I hadn't voted for this post yet, but now I have, because this comment thread is downright epic.

We will never forget this day. I think October 4 should be a ____ day. (Fill in the blank.

Should be: the day that the awesome guy came to AGM and was awesome.

nice one Afraid! LMAO!

This strikes me like the "2009 New York Yankees" article.

And Larry Bird walked through Rick Pitino's door and hit him with a steel chair to win the Lady Bing Trophy

Stop talking directly about the thread, you'll anger it! (and back in the day before it automatically voted on an article when it posted there was a couple zero votes articles with lots of comments - for an infinity ratio)

true story...and even the 1 vote articles have had more comments

That's sad... We need to beef this up! I remember back when you had to vote for your own articles and it didn't do it automatically. I remember there was actually a big discussion about that.

There are still some articles that do that as a matter of fact (at least for me). I had a couple of articles that I wrote that didn't do it automatically for some strange reason.

Maybe they were just horrible, Romi. :-p

Yeah, that's probably why. Or maybe they weren't Red Sox related. ;)

what's the difference between "horrible" and "Red Sox related" anyway?

Oh come on Manny.

Red Sox related CAN be worse than horrible...

BUT, of course, it CAN be better than horrible.

I don't think we're entitled to shit. I think that the Sox have a good shot at it. Probably because they did have the best record in baseball this year. But will I be the first to admit that it's not a done deal? You bet. Uninformed, unrealistic bandwagon fans are the problem.

Besides, this article was so incredibly over-the-top stupid, how can you not laugh out loud?

Bob Ryan just joined armchair?

Sorry, Tyler. I didn't mean to lump all boston fans. Most of you guys are totally understandable. I was being general..which will piss off manny and I will get berated. And yes...this article is awesome.

Unintentional comedy FTW!

WOOT!

I'll show you comment back!!!

thank :-)

Miss South Carolina?

ha HAH!

"Border relations between Canada and Mexico have never been better." George W. Bush

That's the problem, the kid that wrote this article doesn't have a map.

Romi... you just had to go there... (didn't she still come in third or something?)...

3rd runner up...

sorry...i can NEVER forget Oakland...it was sooooo...*sob*...damn you oakland...DAMNNNN YOUUUU!!!!!

SO SENSELESS!!

agreed.

STOP, STOP, STOP (runs away screaming, covering his ears). Why is it that Minnesota can produce good players, but can never win a title even when they have everything they need to do so (cough1998cough)

2007? 2006? 2005?

if that lovechild were hit over the head with the stupid stick.

and drunk
